Next came the County Tourney at Butler. Decatur Central, the Plugs, first foe, provided little competition for the Sparkplugs as they romped to a 61-47 victory. In the semi-finals the Plugs had their coldest game of the season. They lost to Ben Davis by an 84-56 score. On the 27th of january the Speedway squad traveled to Lawrence Central where they lost a 54-50 decision to the Bears. The very next night Coach Sallee and his boys lost a heart- breaker at NVashington in an overtime, 87-85. The Plugs gave Ben Davis and Zionsville scares on the nights of February 3 and 4, respectively, but they lost both encounters by scores of 78-71 at Ben Davis and by 75-69 against Zionsville. Decatur Central visited the Speedway gym on February 10 for a Mid-State battle, but the Sparkplugs turned them back for the second time of the season, 77-66. The last home game for Speedway decided the outcome of the Mid-State Conference race. The Plugs needed a win for a share of the Conference title with Mooresville. The Plugs' opponent, Greenwood, put up a good fight, but tell by one point, 68-67, as joe Cork scored the winning Held goal with just seconds remaining. The Speedway team began their journeys to the Danville Sectional, XVednesday, February 23. They succeeded in downing Avon by a score of 62-55, but when they returned on Friday, they fell to Danville, 49-45. Our congratulations go to Coach Sallee and his boys for a well-played and excitement-filled season.
